Redwood Quotes

If you’ve seen one redwood tree, you’ve seen them all Picture Quote #1

Son, never throw a punch at a redwood Picture Quote #1

If you’ve seen one redwood, you’ve seen them all Picture Quote #1

To whoever invented fantasy, redwood trees, and apple pie for breakfast: well done Picture Quote #1

When a chainsaw rips into a 2,000 year old redwood tree, it’s ripping into my guts. When a bulldozer plows through the Amazon rainforest, it’s ripping through my side. And when a Japanese whaling ship fires an exploding harpoon into a great whale it’s my heart that’s being blown to smithereens Picture Quote #1

These were people... who built redwood decks on their mobile homes and have no idea that smart-aleck Yankees think that is somehow funny. People of the pines. My people Picture Quote #1

Redwood time moves at a more stately pace than human time. To us, when we look at a redwood tree, it seems to be motionless and still, and yet redwoods are constantly in motion, moving upward into space, articulating themselves and filling redwood space over redwood time, over thousands of years Picture Quote #1

Know your priorities and identify the five powerful action steps that you intend to take to move your initiatives forward each day. If you go to a tree with an ax and take five whacks at the tree every day, it doesn’t matter if it’s an oak or a redwood; eventually, the tree has to fall down Picture Quote #1

My eyes are constantly wide open to the extraordinary fact of existence. Not just human existence, but the existence of life and how this breathtakingly powerful process, which is natural selection, has managed to take the very simple facts of physics and chemistry and build them up to redwood trees and humans Picture Quote #1

When you get up into the crown of a redwood tree, you lose sight of the ground entirely. You also lose sight of the sky. And you’re in a lost world. You’re in an undiscovered, unexplored ecosystem, somewhere between Heaven and Earth, filled with forms of life, not all of which have been given names by scientists yet Picture Quote #1

A hypocrite is the kind of politician who would cut down a redwood tree, then mount the stump and make a speech for conservation Picture Quote #1

The seeds of a redwood are released from cones that are about the size of olives. The heartwood of the tree is a dark, shimmery red in color, like old claret. The wood has a lemony scent and is extremely resistant to rot Picture Quote #1

If you want to grow a giant redwood, you need to make sure the seeds are ok, nurture the sapling, and work out what might potentially stop it from growing all the way along. Anything that breaks it at any point stops that growth Picture Quote #1

The redwoods you can see in Muir Woods are nothing like the redwood titans that stand in the rainforest valleys of the North Coast, closer to Oregon. These are the dreadnoughts of trees, the blue whales of the plant kingdom Picture Quote #1

Look at the bark of a redwood, and you see moss. If you peer beneath the bits and pieces of the moss, you’ll see toads, small insects, a whole host of life that prospers in that miniature environment. A lumberman will look at a forest and see so many board feet of lumber. I see a living city Picture Quote #1

It’s very important that we keep these special, wild places. It defines the United States. Imagine our country without our national parks and our monuments. Here in California, imagine if you didn’t have in Southern Cal the Channel Islands or the great Highway 1, Big Sur up to Point Reyes up to the Redwood country Picture Quote #1

No one knows exactly when or where the redwood entered the history of life on earth, though it is an ancient kind of tree and has come down to our world as an inheritance out of deep time Picture Quote #1

Redwood rainforest has five to 10 times the biomass - that’s the sheer weight of living material - of, say, deep tropical rainforest in the Amazon basin Picture Quote #1

Official education was telling people almost nothing of the nature of all those things on the seashores, and in the redwood forests, in the deserts and in the plains Picture Quote #1

A hypocrite is the kind of politician who would cut down a redwood tree, then mount the stump and make a speech for conservation Picture Quote #1

Nixon is the kind of politician who would cut down a redwood tree, then mount the stump for a speech on conservation Picture Quote #1

The redwoods, once seen, leave a mark or create a vision that stays with you always. No one has ever successfully painted or photographed a redwood tree. The feeling they produce is not transferable. From them comes silence and awe. It’s not only their unbelievable stature, nor the color which seems to shift and vary under your eyes, no, they are not like any trees we know, they are ambassadors from another time Picture Quote #1

A grove of giant redwood or sequoias should be kept just as we keep a great and beautiful cathedral Picture Quote #1

I made her the queen of my double wide trailer with the polyester curtains and redwood deck Picture Quote #1

To survive, our minds must taste redwood, and agate, octopi, bat, and in the bat’s mouth, insect. It’s hard to think like a planet, but we’ve got to try Picture Quote #1

Nature is very clear on this. In fact, there’s one fundamental law that all of nature obeys that mankind breaks everyday. Now this is a law that’s evolved over billions of years and the law is this: nothing in nature takes more than it needs. A redwood tree doesn’t take all of the soil’s nutrients, just what it needs to grow. A lion doesn’t kill every gazelle, just one. We have a term for something in the body when it takes more than its share. We call it cancer Picture Quote #1

To be worth making at all a journey has to be made in the mind as much as in the world of objects and dimensions. What value can there be in seeing or experiencing anything for the first time unless it comes as a revelation? And for that to happen, some previously held thought or belief must be confounded, or enhanced, or even transcended. What difference can it make otherwise to see a redwood tree, a tiger, or a humming bird? Picture Quote #1
